It's been a little over a year since Cardi B released the single that changed her career forever. The release of "Bodak Yellow" put Cardi B on the path to stardom and since then, she hasn't stopped grinding. Since last August, Cardi B has been a dominant force in the music and entertainment industry. Her debut album Invasion Of Privacy lived up the high expectations that was set based off the hype. Shortly after her single, "I Like It" with J Balvin and Bad Bunny climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, she received more good news with another single off of her album.

Cardi B adds another plaque to her collection. The Bronx rapper hit Instagram to reveal that her single, "Be Careful" has officially been certified platinum by the RIAA. The news comes shortly after she was announced as the first female rapper to ever have two number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. After sharing a screenshot of the RIAA certification, she captioned it "Another 1."

Aside from her recent platinum certifications, Cardi B also received an ASCAP Urban Award for "Bodak Yellow" recently. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to be in attendance for the award so her husband, Offset picked up the award for her. In addition, she took home the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist award at the BET Awards this year. Overall, Cardi B is killing it.
